A piece finished for a local client. I wanted to evoke the limited perspective of a map while also having some fun with an Americana folk art vibe. Ended up with a bit of a mid-century look with some of the stylization and colors. I absolutely love how it all came together!

2D and 3D butterfly calendars now available on my Etsy! Had a complete blast making these.

A resurrected portrait I finally created a background for - Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.

Another bright bird print! This one’s a Yellow Warbler.

I always look forward to cooler weather but end up missing the heat every time. Sad to see the summer running out, all the hummingbirds and butterflies who visit will be gone for the year.

Posted a pic of this piece earlier - it’s now available in my shop as an original or a super-vibrant print! A few other bird paintings soon to follow!

A work in progress from last week! Little colored pencil people to create a crowd.
